Key Ingredients

• Aqua/Water:
  The base of the formula, providing hydration and serving as a gentle solvent.

• Sodium Laureth Sulfate:
  A mild surfactant that creates a soft foam to effectively lift impurities from the skin.

• Panthenol (Pro‑Vitamin B5 at 5% concentration):
  Renowned for its soothing and replenishing benefits, Panthenol helps repair the skin barrier while leaving the skin moisturized and comfortable.

• PEG‑200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate:
  Acts as both a surfactant and an emulsifier to ensure a stable and effective cleansing process.

• Glycerin:
  A skin‑identical humectant that locks in moisture by attracting water, ensuring the skin stays hydrated and soft.

• Coco‑Betaine:
  Derived from coconut, this gentle surfactant boosts the foaming effect while remaining kind to sensitive skin.

• Sodium Chloride:
  Primarily included for viscosity control, helping to achieve the ideal gel texture.

• Polysorbate 20 and PEG‑7 Glyceryl Cocoate:
  Emulsifiers that support the product’s stability and improve its spreadability while ensuring a smooth cleansing experience.

• Citric Acid:
  Adjusts the pH of the cleanser to maintain skin compatibility.

• Cocamide MEA:
  Enhances foaming and the overall cleansing performance through its surfactant properties.

• Copper Gluconate, Zinc Gluconate & Manganese Gluconate:
  These trace elements act as anti‑bacterial agents, purifying the skin without disrupting its natural balance. They add an extra level of soothing, particularly for skin prone to irritation.

• Other Ingredients:
  Additional components like propylene glycol, sweet almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil), sodium benzoate, and sodium hydroxide work together to support the formulation’s consistency, preservation, and pH balance.
